What's wrong?
The high voltage battery pack assembly in a 2022-2023 Jeep Wrangler plug-in hybrid stores the energy used for electric driving and feeds the propulsion system through protected electrical circuits. A 200 amp fuse sits in that battery circuit. Its job is to protect the circuit by opening when current gets too high, and it depends on tight, correct fasteners to keep the connection stable.
On affected Wranglers, the fuse was secured with incorrect fasteners. That loose or mismatched connection creates high electrical resistance, which builds excessive heat at the fuse. Heat at that point can melt the fuse area, damage the fuse assembly, and lead to fuse failure. If the fuse fails, the Wrangler can lose motive power.
Owners can notice a malfunction indicator lamp, a change in drivability, or noise from the high voltage battery pack assembly. Those signs mean the battery fuse connection needs dealer attention, not further diagnosis at home.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
Excessive heat can make the HV battery fuse fail and cause loss of drive power, increasing crash risk. Watch for a malfunction indicator lamp, drivability changes, or noise from the HV battery pack, and schedule the inspection promptly if your VIN is included. Repair is free at any franchised Jeep dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022-2023 Jeep Wrangler is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Jeep dealer to schedule the free HV battery fuse inspection and battery-assembly check that addresses excessive heat at the fuse.
- Bring the recall notice if Jeep mailed one. If not, reference recall number 23V303 and Jeep recall 53A when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Stop in a safe place if the vehicle loses drive power.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Jeep technician inspects the high voltage battery fuse and replaces it if the inspection shows it is needed. The technician also checks the battery assembly for damage and replaces the assembly if needed. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. If you already paid to fix this same problem before the recall notice, FCA US asks owners to send the original receipt or other adequate proof of payment so the company can confirm the expense for reimbursement.
